Biscia Dining Chair - Pascal Mourgue - Steiner Meubles

Pascal Mourgue, Steiner – Set of Six ‘Biscia’ Dining Chairs, France, 1960s
Tubular Chrome Cantilever Chairs Upholstered in Black Saddle Leather

These sculptural dining chairs, designed by French designer Pascal Mourgue for Steiner in the 1960s, embody the radical spirit of postwar modernism. Their striking zig-zag frame creates an elegant sense of movement, making them a natural fit for interiors that blend avant-garde modernism with minimalism or eclectic bohemian aesthetics. Rarely do these pieces appear on the market as a complete matching set of six.

The chairs feature a continuous S-shaped cantilever frame crafted from tubular chromed steel. The seats and backs are upholstered in black saddle leather, which has developed a rich and expressive patina over the decades. The contrast between the polished chrome and the lived-in leather gives the chairs a unique presence. Both refined and authentic.

The vintage condition is consistent with age: the leather displays some wear and markings, particularly on the backrests, adding to their character and enhancing the sense of history. Structurally sound and comfortable, they retain the dynamic bounce characteristic of cantilevered designs.

Pascal Mourgue’s Biscia is considered a design statement of 1960s French modernism — bold, functional, and sculptural. This complete set of six offers an exceptional opportunity for collectors and design enthusiasts seeking a rare configuration that integrates seamlessly into high-end interiors, whether modernist, industrial, or eclectic.
